If it is formal as in a letter, you might say Reverend Father Robert Smith, or just Father Robert Smith, etc.
Your denomination has no bearing on what form of address you use. Although some priests may even shower you with Holy Water for daring to speak to them, but they are just odd and should be avoided anyway.

Another dusty classic ... a fab snowman.
I love him.
dusty ... it's nothing very exciting. I'm going to be in company where one of the people present will be a Catholic priest. I like to do things properly, and want to make sure that I address him correctly (although I'm sure he won't mind too much).
And I'm just interested in these things ... like how grown-ups address school Headmasters
